Sink repair at your home in New Longton
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Typical jobs include crazing in the glaze and an antique basin with chips, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

What else we do in New Longton
New Longton: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
How much does sink repair cost in New Longton?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in New Longton
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
